The Role of NO and NO2 in the Chemistry of the Troposphere and Stratosphere

Crutzen, Paul J.·1979·Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences

Abstract

Oxides of nitrogen play an important role in the radical chemistry of the atmosphere and in the production and destruction of tropospheric and stratospheric ozone. Ozone is a principal agent in forming the OH radical which attacks inert gases in the troposphere. The acidity of precipitation is in part the result of HNO3 and H2SO4 formed by reactions involving the OH radical. Fast removal processes for oxides of nitrogen in the lower troposphere are described. Long-distance transport of oxides of nitrogen in peroxy-acetyl nitrate also receives attention. In the stratosphere, the participation of NO and NO2 in reactions that influence the equilibrium of photochemical systems may render the total ozone abundance insensitive to additions of oxides of nitrogen.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
